Antarctica - Travels at the End of the World
Tue., August 3 - 6:30pm
Antarctica is the coldest, driest, windiest, place on Earth. Two-thirds of all the planet’s fresh water is locked up there in the form of ice on a continent twice the size of Australia. The last continent to be understood, it is an unforgiving environment that challenged and took the lives of many early explorers.
Barry Pell traveled by ship to Antarctica for two weeks. Based on his travels on the sea and excursions on land, he will discuss and show his photography of this most magnificent and unique continent.

Extreme Weather
and Climate Change
Tue., August 10 - 6:30pm
From heat waves to drought, the fingerprints of climate change are all over recent extreme weather events. But what about hurricanes? Was the historic 2017 hurricane season (Harvey, Irma, Maria, etc.) a result of climate change? Can we expect more years like 2017 in the future? Will hurricanes be more common in New England?
It turns out these are difficult questions to answer. This presentation will discuss why attributing changes in hurricanes to climate change is so challenging, and highlight what steps researchers are taking to better understand this critical connection.
